A July Highlight from The Macallan

The Macallan Cask 7 2017 (bottled July 2017 as Cask #7/2017) is a rare, unblended expression from The Macallan’s Exceptional Single Cask series. Consequently, it offers the pure character of a single sherry-seasoned European oak cask—untouched by blending or chill filtration. Moreover, with only around 300 bottles released, it captures a unique moment of Macallan’s cask excellence in mid-2017. Above all, it’s a true connoisseur’s bottling.

Bottled at Natural Cask Strength

This whisky was drawn directly from Cask #7/2017 at 57.4% ABV, preserving its full intensity and texture. In fact, this July 2017 release showcases the distillery’s mastery of sherry cask maturation—delivering deep fruit, spice, and oak in perfect harmony. As a result, it offers a powerful yet balanced profile that evolves beautifully with time and a drop of water.

Rich, Spicy, and Deeply Layered

The nose opens with raisin, fig, and orange marmalade, followed by cinnamon, clove, and dark chocolate. Then, leather and tobacco unfold with air. On the palate, flavors of plum, toffee, and antique oak glide with weight. Subtle notes of espresso, roasted almond, and beeswax add complexity. Finally, the finish is long and warming—dried fruit, cocoa, and a whisper of smoke. Altogether, it embodies the spirit of this Macallan Cask 7 2017.

A One-of-a-Kind Collector’s Item

As a single cask release, the Macallan Cask 7 2017 is inherently limited and irreplaceable. Therefore, it holds strong appeal for collectors who value provenance, rarity, and authenticity. Its minimalist label—featuring cask number and bottling date—makes it a standout in any Macallan library.
